Automated Testing

Testing with gtest/gmock

Before feature requests or bug fixes can be merged into master, the folowing steps should be taken:

• Create a new test suite named after the issue, e.g. Issue840.
• Add a test case named Reproduces that reproduces the bug. It should fail if the bug is present and pass if the bug is fixed.
• Merge the proposed fix into a temporary testing branch.
• The reproduction test should fail.
• Add a test called "HasNotRegresed" that detects a potential regression. It should pass with the fix and fail before the fix.
• Comment out and keep the Reproduces test case as documentation.

For an example, see keyboardio:Kaleidoscope/tests/issue_840.

Adding a New Test Case

For general information on writing test with gtest/gmock see gtest docs and gmock docs.

1. Create a new test file, if appropriate.
2. Choose a new test suite name and create a new test fixture, if appropriate.
3. Write your test case.

The final include in any test file should be #include "testing/setup-googletest.h" which should be followed by the macro invocation SETUP_GOOGLETEST(). This will take care of including headers commonly used in tests in addtion to gtest and gmock headers.

Any test fixtures should inherit from VirtualDeviceTest which wraps the test sim APIs and provides common setup and teardown functionality. The appropriate header is already imported by setup-googletest.h

Test Infrastructure

If you need to modify or extend test infrastructure to support your use case, it can currently be found under keyboardio:Kaleidoscope/testing.

Style

TODO(obra): Fill out this section to your liking.

You can see samples of the desired test style in the example tests.

Examples

All existing tests are examples and may be found under keyboardio:Kaleidoscope/tests.

Testing with Aglais/Papilio

TODO(obra): Write (or delegate the writing of) this section.
